Substantial Increase in Wastewater and Transportation
The Wastewater category doubled its planned spending due to the addition of the North Regional Water Reclamation Facility Expansion 12.5 MGD. There has also been a significant increase in the Transportation category for existing projects, including 44th Ave E - 44th Ave Plaza E - Lakewood Ranch Blvd. A new project, the Moccasin Wallow Road Segment 5 from US 301 to SR 62, has also been added to the same category.
